(RADIATOR) Authby ROUNDROBIN not using new hosts when sending HUP

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Peter, Hello Frank -

I sent the results of my testing here to Peter yesterday, mentioning that I 
had not been able to reproduce his problem, although I had discovered another 
bug in the AuthLog FILE clause (the full path was not being created).

At this stage we would like to hold off on looking at problems of this sort 
(-HUP related), as there are significant architectural changes in Radiator 
3.0 that should resolve all of these sorts of issues. We would very much 
appreciate you testing Radiator 3.0 when it is released (within the next 
month of so), and verifying the operations that are currently causing 
difficulties.

many thanks

Hugh
